Mails are sent from cubecomp@cubecomp.de #185

Closed Laura-O closed 9 years ago

When writing mails to competitors via the interface the sender is cubecomp@cubecomp.de. That's really bad as we do not receive the replies. It would be good if this could be changed to the individual personal mail address.

fw42 commented 9 years ago

This is on purpose. The mailer sets a Reply-To address which almost all email clients respect. To prove you wrong: cubecomp@cubecomp.de goes to my personal inbox and I haven't received a single competitor email yet that was meant to be delivered to the organizers.

Changing the From address to be the staff email would make most email servers either reject the email or at least categorize it as spam (depending on the domains SPF record settings).

So long story short: The replies already go to the staff email, unless your email client is a piece of shit :-)

OK, my bad. I didn't see the reply-to, some everything fine. :-)
